HEALTH CARE CHOICES & COSTS

** Participants who currently and regularly use tobacco products will have a $50/month tobacco surcharge added to their monthly medical premium. ** If you are providing coverage for your domestic partner who is not a tax dependent, the portion of the premium relating to your domestic partner will be deducted on an after-tax basis

(unless you provide documentation that you have been legally married in another state) and the remaining balance of the premium will be paid on a pre-tax basis. Contact HR-Benefits at 713.798.1500 or [email protected] if you have additional questions.

Baylor College of Medicine’s Comprehensive Medical Plan offers three medical options, each administered by UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and use the Choice or Choice Plus network of health care providers. Baylor offers an enhanced custom network made up of certain Baylor/CHI St. Luke’s physicians (BSLMG) and facilities. This enhanced BSLMG network provides lower copays and higher coinsurance levels. A list of participants is located on the Human Resources - Benefits intranet page. The Affordable Care Act requires a social security number for ALL dependents enrolled in the medical plans offered by BCM.

Premium PPO Option See rates in teal in table below

� The Premium PPO option utilizes a network of physicians at negotiated rates. You can go to any physician or medical facility for services in the Premium PPO regardless of whether they are in or out-of-network. Your annual deductible, co-payment levels, and annual out-of-pocket maximum will be affected by whether or not you use a network physician or medical facility.

� Medical and prescription drug copays, coinsurance and deductible payments apply toward the out-of-pocket maximum. For example, if you are required to pay 20% of the network medical expense, that dollar amount will go toward satisfying your annual out-of-pocket maximum.

Value EPO Option See rates in blue in table below

� The Value EPO Option provides coverage for only those expenses provided exclusively by BSLMG or Choice network providers. If you seek treatment from an out-of-network provider, no benefits will be paid (unless it is a life threatening emergency).

� There is a deductible if you use a network facility or hospital. The deductible does not apply to physician office visits, but a copay is required. � Medical and prescription drug copays, coinsurance and deductible payments apply toward the out-of-pocket maximum. For example, if you pay 25% of the network medical expense, that dollar amount will go toward satisfying your annual out-of-pocket maximum.

Health&Savings PPO Option See rates in magenta in table below

� The Health&Savings PPO option utilizes a network of physicians at negotiated rates. You can go to any physician or medical facility that services the Health&Savings PPO regardless of whether they are in or out-of-network. Your annual deductible and annual out-of-pocket maximum will be affected by whether or not you use network providers. � This is a high deductible health plan (HDHP). You must satisfy your deductible before plan payments begin, including prescription drugs. � All participants in the Health&Savings PPO option are eligible to open a Health Savings account (HSA). The HSA is a personal bank account and it is the responsibility of the account holder to manage their eligibility to contribute to the HSA. � HSA deductions are made pre-tax from payroll, grow tax-free and are distributed tax free. Your HSA balance carries forward from year to year. � You are not eligible to contribute to an HSA at any time that you:

� are enrolled in any part of Medicare (including Part A, which is automatic with Social Security retirement income benefits) � received Veterans Administration (VA) benefits within the past three months � receive health benefits under TRICARE

� can be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return � can have medical expenses reimbursed under you or your spouse’s healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) in the same calendar year
